ANYTHING GOES

'SARDINES' REVIEW

"One of the triumphs of this production was the characterisation of the variable personalities on board: an evangelist turned singer, a lovelorn young man, an English Lord, a gangster and his moll, a debutante and the ability to gain the empathy of the audience by their efforts in establishing their identity and taking us along with them.

Elegance was personified in the dancing couples forming the background to the gorgeous melody and sentiment of Easy to Love and to climax the first half a charismatic ensemble piece performing the title song Anything Goes, highlighted by some neat tap dancing to enhance and top and tail the number, and leave the audience with a good feeling on their way to the bar for the interval. If some of the tap dancers were less adept than those at the front it did not show at all!"
